Superstar Mohanlal's 'Empuraan' To Be Postponed?

The release of the film is in only 2 weeks but the makers are yet to drop the trailer or any other promotional content. Over the last few weeks, it has been reported that there has been a dispute between Lyca Productions and Aashirvad Cinemas for the distribution and business of the movie and the latest development indicates the same.

According to Forum Keralam, Aashirvad Cinemas wants Lyca to exit the movie but the latter, despite showing a willingness to part ways, is not ready to do the same on the former's term. It is said that Lyca wants its partner studio to settle its investment of approximately 75 crores, plus an additional 10 crores.

There have been multiple discussions regarding the matter but things are not moving toward an amicable solution. If the matter gets prolonged, Empuraan may be postponed to the new release which looks likely given the fact that there will be limited time left for the promotion of the movie across the country.

Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran who also plays a key role in the movie, is the second instalment in a planned trilogy and is a follow-up to the 2019 film Lucifer. The film stars Mohanlal as Khureshi-Ab'raam / Stephen Nedumpally, alongside an ensemble cast consisting of Prithviraj Sukumaran, Abhimanyu Singh, Tovino Thomas, Manju Warrier, Saniya Iyappan, Sachin Khedekar, among others in key roles.
